Contrarian Helix

Contrarian Helix Knitting Pattern features beautifully stacked cables and twisted stitches that showcase the stunning watercolor-like hues of your yarn. This innovative design ensures that the structure of the gauge makes these socks not only visually striking but also incredibly comfortable to wear. The continuous, mirrored helix-motif cables add an intricate touch, while the toe-up construction provides an ideal opportunity to use every last inch of your favorite yarn.

This unique pattern is part of The LINEAR Collection, a series that highlights the beauty of mirroring and parallel lines in sock design. The toe-up approach allows you unparalleled flexibility in determining how long your socks will be. If you're running low on yarn, easily adjust the height to make them calf-length, or opt for an extended ribbing to create a stylish cuff that beautifully turns over the top of a boot.

SIZES:
Available in sizes S (M, L, XL) to fit a foot circumference of 7.25 (7.75, 8.75, 9.5) inches and a calf measurement at the widest point of 9.5 (10.25, 11, 12) inches. Perfectly tailored to accommodate a range of foot sizes, these socks are a must-have addition to your knitting repertoire.

YARN:
We recommend using Malabrigo Arroyo, which is a luxurious blend of 100% superwash merino wool, providing 335 yards per 100g skein. To complete the Contrarian Helix socks, you will need 2 skeins for sizes S and M, and 3 skeins for sizes L and XL. The sample is shown in the breathtaking shade of Fresco Y Seco, enhancing the visual appeal of your finished project.

NEEDLES:
For this pattern, you will need US 2 / 2.75mm and US 2.5 / 3mm circular needles or double-pointed needles (dpns), or your preferred method for working small circumferences in the round, ensuring a seamless knitting experience that suits your style.

GAUGE:
Achieve a gauge of 9 stitches and 10 rounds = 1 inch in cable and rib pattern to ensure your socks fit perfectly and look fabulous.
